When i Saw Awadh Samman to Ruchita mishra by UP-CM, then i was exited to knowing about her. I googled
her and know about her book. Read her Interview and her Blog. Then decided to read her book. Started with last page. Yet Book has a good Connectivity in Bollywood Style.
First, I will discuss about her Interview, some lines are highly interested like : She started writing because of Recession(job), firstly she started painting then go for Writing. I like her very much (Not in that sense), as a blo...more

One chronicle which every bachelor would like/love to read!!!
The(In)Eligible Bachelors is a laugh riot from beginning to end. Hilarious would be an understatement. It’s simply unputdownable ... fast, witty, & relatable characters. The first book ever which made me laugh out loud at oh! so many points! Kasturi’s diary is one chronicle which every bachelor would like/love to read.
Seeing my late night reactions, my mom is now reading it after almost a decade. The sight of her reading, laughin...more

Ruchita Misra is exploring a market that is yet to take off on a grand stage in India. And that is, what I would like to call, the 'chick-books' market. As far as I understand, there's still lots of room to explore and many such books will be on the shelf sooner rather than later. As far as this book is concerned, it is an easy going book, but it could have been a lot better.`

Funny and Unputdownable! I read the book in 5 hours straight... that speaks volumes about the kind of book this is. The best thing about the book is that the protagonist is not perfect. A little goofy, a little serious, totally adorable and tons of fun to read... :)
The situations are life like, well most of them anyway and you can probably think up of knowing someone who has been there and done that. It is breezy, fun read... perfect for taking your mind off the stress after a busy week.

I was unable to stop myself laugh out loud while reading it. Almost in tears in between and truly delighted at the way it comes to end. Story reminds, how important friendship is, in everyone's life. How important parents are, even if they are annoying sometime.
Most importantly it reminds, how many of us claim about understanding what love is, which is not so true in most cases. Its only when one comes face to face with their love, realize what it is exactly. And then it will be up to us lead l...more

This book is about me! Hey people, Ruchita has written such a wonderful story that I can 100% relate to. It really feels as if the characters and plots and sub-plots are something which have happened with me and my friends. Simple and yet so engaging and powerful. This is a winner and Ruchita is a star. Look forward to the next one :) :) :)
Oh God! This novel was so hilarious! Loved laughing and giggling. Felt like I was watching some Bollywood film (a really amusing Bollywood film with a predictable plot yet enjoyable one) :D
A well written book and is extremely funny. The storyline is extremely predictable but its a good light hearted read :). I have already passed the book onto my mom ;).
A very interesting and hilarious read. The dairy entry style and a few of the jokes reminded of another writer. But nonetheless, definitely worth a read.
Cute Would make an awesome chick flick.. And If it does I'll definitely go watch it :)
I loved this book. Characters were so relatable. The book was unputdownable.
Goofy, irrelevant and completely predictable, it was a fun read nonetheless.
Great Book.....
Finished within 1.5 hours.....A perfect jester.
Couldnot stop lafng!!!!!!
